## NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
An API to get the current picture from NASA's astronomy picture of the day website.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
Every Day NASA posts a new astronomy-related image on https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Unfortunately, that image URL changes, so I cannot point to a single URL and get the current image of the day.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is my solution. I created a python web API that returns a 302, redirecting you to the image URL by parsing the
|
||||||
|
code of the website to find the `img` tag.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I am using it to update the background of my phone every day with Tasker. It's nice.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For convenience, I also dockerized it.
